appreciate effort fans manager matches players putting took
When I was manager at Ipswich and Derby, if we took 3500 to away matches that was good. To take over 6000 is unbelievable. The fans appreciate the effort the players are putting in.

goal half number second spell start top
I thought in the first half we were excellent. We got one goal and could have got a number more. Hibs were on top for a spell at the start of the second half, but after our second goal there was only going to be one winner.

came football good great job keen mentally morning respect saturday stay wished
I was very keen for Dennis to stay but he came in on Saturday morning and said he didn't think it was right to stay on and I wished him all the best. Dennis was disappointed, which is understandable, but he can still do a good job on the football field. At the end of the day he has got to be mentally right and he told me he wasn't and you have to respect his decision. He's been a great professional.

Joe knows Craig Levein well and, if the talks work out, it will be a good opportunity for the lad.

I'm hoping to look at a specific player but other than that I don't really want to say anymore at the moment.
